Death Car Myth and Mystique
By Warren Beath
In 2005 its last owner George Barris (who actualy was in possession of only the motorless body shell; the essential components are in the possession of Tyler Eschrich, son of William Eschrich who aquired the car from insurance salvage) claimed for the first time to have restored the passenger-side door from the car among the other artifacts of the fatal crash. In 2005 the Volo Auto Museum in Volo, Illinois offered $1million for the missing car--although George Barris would have to authenticate the wreck. Their money was safe, though because the death car will never re-surface, and the answer to the mystery most likely was reduced to a cube of mangled aluminum by a salvage yard crusher.
